# Leith Yoga
Leith Yoga is a yoga studio located in Edinburgh's EH1 postcode, offering transformative movement and breathwork practices grounded in a philosophy of body wisdom and personal empowerment. Founded on the belief that bodies are wise and beautiful, and that personal growth catalyses social change, the studio serves individuals seeking authentic connection to their strength and expertise through yoga.
The studio caters to those who value inquiry-based practice over prescriptive instruction. Rather than positioning the teacher as the expert, Leith Yoga honours each person as the authority of their own experience. This approach appeals to practitioners wanting to deepen self-awareness whilst building physical strength and resilience.
What distinguishes Leith Yoga is its holistic framework combining yoga asana with breathwork, bodywork and tools of self-enquiry. The teaching methodology emphasises how feeling strong and centred enables meaningful action beyond the mat. The studio offers flexibility across delivery formats—online group classes, private one-to-one sessions tailored to individual needs, and specialist core support programmes. Led by Janet Forrest, whose students describe her as nurturing yet energetic, the studio has cultivated a reputation as a hidden gem in Leith, with testimonials highlighting how classes leave participants feeling physically revived, mentally cleansed and emotionally resourced. The intimate studio environment combined with this philosophy-led approach creates a distinctive offering in Edinburgh's yoga landscape—one that treats self-care as activism.
